Each year our department holds an Away Day. It’s our moment to come together as a big team, share our research and hear lived experience. We hold it before the Christmas break. To all our researchers, thank you for an amazing 2025.
Here's to even more discoveries for patients in 2026.
We can confirm the stand up comedy for neurologists was amazing! Hearing about lived experience is literally the most important part of our Away Day. Research is for people. Our MS researchers were honoured to have Rabiah as our special guest speaker this year. #MS
